Wow! We can't believe it's already been this long!

You may recall that before Anne Hathaway became involved with Adam Shulman in 2008, she dated Raffaello Follieri, the con-man who was arrested on fraud charges after stealing millions from investors in a scheme in which he posed as the Vatican's point man on real estate!

Remember? Although poor girl wasn't charged, she had her own journals confiscated by the FBI during the investigation, and even had to give back jewelry he had given her as gifts!

Well, after pleading guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy and serving nearly four years behind bars, Follieri is expected to be released from prison tomorrow, and will be handed over to federal officials to be deported!

According to a spokesman for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement:

The anonymous personal trainer who has accused John Travolta of unwanted fondling and groping is hopping on the legal bandwagon!

He came out with the allegations last week, in which the married actor "groped and fondled him against his will" during private workout sessions at the gym he was employed by.

Now sources are reporting that this guy "has formally hired a lawyer to explore possible legal action against Travolta." An insider continued:

And the twists just keep on comin'!

John Travolta's second accuser alleges he was sexually assaulted by the married star during a massage in an Atlanta hotel. However, now sources are coming forward to reveal that the same masseur was FIRED for being sexually inappropriate with clients himself!

The man, who's actual name is Casey Truesdale (not John), was the spa manager at the Ballantyne Day Spa and Resort in Charlotte, North Carolina until he got the axe. An inside source explains:

WHOMP WHOMP.

The Nickelodeon child star has yet to be officially charged for her April 6th DUI incident, but her court date is set for June 6th.

Amanda Bynes is expected to be charged with refusal to take a blood test.

We hope after ALL of these recent, driving-related altercations, Amanda is taking some time for self-reflection!

And perhaps some driving lessons.

Gloria Allred is one busy lady these days!

Aside from the clients she's representing in the lawsuits against John Travolta, the women's right attorney has now taken up another case - a New Jersey woman who is pressing charges against her former employer after she was fired from her a job a day after being told to "tape her breasts down!"

Ch-ch-check out a news report on Lauren Odes, the 29-year-old former data entry worker for Native Intimates, a wholesale lingerie company in Manhattan owned by Orthodox Jews, who is now suing for religious and sexual discrimination (above)!

WELL. This certainly is one for the books, isn't it?

Not entirely sure that's the look we'd prefer to rock while in the workplace, but it's also pretty inneresting that Orthodox Jews would be selling lingerie - especially the kind Odes describes!

And it does seem she went to pretty admirable lengths to abide by a dress code!

Inneresting indeed! We'll let U guys sound off!

What do U think? Does she have a legit case or is this just another one of Allred's side shows??

Yes, 2 Chainz, weapons are kinda frowned upon in airports…

Rapper 2 Chainz - who most recently teamed up with fiery females Kreayshawn and Nicki Minaj - was arrested Tuesday at LaGuardia Airport for having brass knuckles in his carry on!

Chainz was heading into the the Delta terminal to catch a flight for his North Carolina show, when TSA agents layed a stop-and-search on him, and his brassy knucks were exposed!

SILLY SILLY SILLY.

Never bring so much as a plastic fork into an airport unless you want some dude handling your shi*, DUH!

So You Think You Can Dance has NEVER been more exciting!!

Earlier, we posted that SYTYCD judge, Mary Murphy, was b*tch slapped with a HUGE lawsuit for "breach of written and oral contract."

On top of asking for $1 million bucks, Mary's former manager is accusing her of being a "desperate, cocaine-fueled nymphomaniac" and also,
